Skills test (30%) Case Study (40%) Log book (30%)
Grades for all parts deliver the grade for this module To pass the module you need to get an average of 40% overall and you must score a minimum of 40% for each independent assessment
The two skills tests and case study also count towards the Network Fundamentals and Routing Protocols and Concepts
Module assessment

Consists of 12 questions To be completed parallel with the module delivery
Cisco certification
All of the work which you have done for the module counts towards the Cisco training part of the course You need to pass a number of online chapter tests
Network Fundamentals = 11 Chapter Tests Routing Protocols and Concepts = 11 Chapter Tests Online final exams Complete the course feedback
To graduate the Cisco training you must:
score >= 70% on the online final exam score >= 40% on the skills exam have an overall score >= 70% on the weighted percentage
Tutorials
You will be given specific tutorials to work through These will help you to understand the material from the lecture and put it into practical use The tutorials are taken from the official Cisco tutorial books There are too many to do in class, so specific ones have been selected for you The tutorials all work towards the skills assessment so completing these exercises is important You should also complete as many activities via Packet Tracer as possible
Effective learning
The lectures give you the framework The tutorials let you put that framework into practice In order to pass the module you need the theoretical knowledge AND practical skills Time is short on the module so please ensure that you attend ALL lectures and tutorials
You will need to read the Cisco online material outside class hours
